Copy/pasting Lyrics
Apologies if this is a repeat topic or the wrong location…
I updated to Musescore 4. So far, it seems pretty easy to use.
However…
I need to be able to copy and paste large amounts of text into scores. It is quite laborious to type it out…especially when we're talking typing multiple verses.
I read the Musescore 4 handbook online regarding lyrics (I think) but it doesn't say anything about pasting lyrics into the score...All the info I find is about copying lyrics from the score.
In Musescore 3, I could copy and then paste the lyrics, each word or syllable in succession, by using Command + V, space bar, Command + V, space bar, Command + V, etc. Now when I do space bar, Command + V in Musescore 4, I just repeats the first word of the copied text.
Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks, Jojo. I did a search for it, and didn't find it. So that's why I wrote about it. As I said in the original post, I'm sorry if it's a repeat. I'm happy to hear that it's known and reported. I hope it gets fixed soon! I need that function!

This "known issues," "reported numerous times already" still isn't fixed. I won't be using Musescore 4 until it's fixed.

Some patience required!

I’ll just uninstall Musescore 4. I wish there were a way to ignore the prompt when opening up Musecore 3 to “update” to 4…Hardly an update if it’s not able to do what the predecessors did!
This is the most recent thread I can find on the issue of copy/paste lyrics pasting only the first word, which affects me.
Can anyone reassure me whether a fix is being worked on?
The github issue 13215 has not been posted since Feb 17, last activity Mar 4.
On Feb 17 Marc suggested the Lilypond plugin. Will that solve the problem for me?
I went to the plugins tab though and at the top it says "disabled", and lilypond wasn't there or searchable. How could I get it?
I am a Linux user. Linux Mint Cinnamon. Admittedly old OS, installed 3 years ago.
Many thanks

Sorry Jojo I am very new, what is merging in this context and how does it relate to my inability to search for Lilypond?

I think I understand. Wait for the next release then, I won't be able to download the plugin myself manually.
There is hope then.
